Game results taken from US College Hockey Online's Division I composite schedule
The records listed after the teams are points for (number of ties plus twice the number of wins), points against (ties plus twice losses), and points remaining (twice the number of games remaining). Then the remaining games on each team's schedule. (Home games are printed in CAPS while road games are in lowercase.) Then come the magic numbers for each team to finish ahead of each other team. These are expressed as total number of points gained by one team and/or lost by the other, so if there are n games left in the season, each pair of teams has 4n points towards the magic numbers (2n points of wins for one team and 2n points of losses for the other).

An entry of xx in a team's row means that that team will definitely finish behind the team whose column it's in.
In addition, information about the ECAC tiebreakers is included. An integer means I've worked out all the tiebreaker possibilities definitively and come up with the magic number of points team one team needs to finish ahead of the other. When the tiebreakers are unresolved, the table still includes head-to-head information.
If the first tiebreaker, head-to-head record between the two teams, is undetermined (i.e., the season series was split or not yet finished), there is a ½ after the number. For instance, if team A's magic number to tie team B is 9 points, and they split the season series, the tie-breaker between the teams will go down to record against the top four, which cannot be determined yet, and team A's magic number to finish ahead of team B is nine and one-half, which means there will be a 9½ in the table.
If one team has won the season series with another, we know they would win a two-team tie-breaker in the event of a tie, but might still lose a three-team tie-breaker. For instance, suppose team X swept team Y and has a magic number of 8 to tie them in the standings. Since they would prevail in the tie-breaker unless the two teams end up in a three-way tie, team X's magic number to finish a ahead of team Y is probably 8, maybe 9. Hence 8+ in the table.
Similarly, if team X has a magic number of 8 to tie team Z, but lost the season series, their magic number to top team Z is 9, unless they can m anage a three-way tie, in which case it might be 8. Hence 9- in the table.
The following tables allow calculation of the ECAC tiebreakers:
First, the points in head-to-head games between pairs of teams. For pairs that have completed their season series, the points are out of a possible 4 (two games). Everyone else is out of a possbible 2, and that is indicated with a * signifying there's still a game left.

If two more more teams are tied overall record and head-to-head points and have the same records vs the top 5 and top 10 teams, net goals (head-to-head, vs the top 5 and vs the top 10) must be used as a tiebreaker. Top 5 and top 10 goal differentials are listed in this table as total goal differentials in the appropriate number of games.
